Abstract 

The appropriate management of labyrinthine fistulae has been debated in the literature for years. After several recent cases of labyrinthine fistulae at our institution, a review of the published data regarding hearing outcome with fistula management was undertaken. Results of this critical review were presented at departmental grand rounds. The grand rounds presentation, data and discussion are presented to better illuminate the topic of labyrinthine fistula management. (Am J Otolaryngol 2003;24:51-60.
